State-backed cyber threats are evolving, leveraging AI to launch more sophisticated, harder to detect attacks on global supply chains and critical infrastructure.

Using real-world examples, this webinar will explore the threat posed to the wider supply chain – including indirect suppliers like IXPs and GPS networks – and the best practices and defence frameworks to increase cyber resilience. 

We look forward to welcoming you!
